  1. Which one among the following does not have an allotrope ?
    1. Oxygen
    2. Sulphur
    3. Nitrogen
    4. Carbon
Correct Option: C

Unstable allotropes of nitrogen consisting of more than two nitrogen atoms have been produced in the laboratory, like N3 and N4 [1]. Under extremely high pressures (1.1 million atm) and high temperatures (2000 K), as produced under diamond anvil conditions, nitrogen polymerizes into the single bonded diamond crystal structure, an allotrope nicknamed "nitrogen diamond".
